How the TN visa works

TN is for citizens of Canada and Mexico working in one of the professions on the USMCA list. There is no cap, no lottery, and no petition for most applicants. With a job offer and an employer support letter, Canadian citizens are visa-exempt and present their documents at a U.S. port of entry, receiving status the same day; Mexican citizens apply for a TN visa at a U.S. consulate first. The exception is someone already in the U.S. who changes to or extends TN status, where the employer files Form I-129 with USCIS. What matters is that your degree or credentials match a listed profession and that the offer is for a role on that list. TN does not allow dual intent, so you cannot use it to pursue a green card. TN is granted for up to three years and renews indefinitely.

TN Sponsors for Professors: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies sponsor the most TN visas for Professors?

University of Florida has the most, with 128 live TN jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by University of Kentucky (128) and Texas A&M University (113). Across the 10 companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 784 live TN jobs, updated daily.

Who qualifies for TN sponsorship?

TN status is available only to Canadian and Mexican citizens under the USMCA profession list. Professor is a listed TN profession. Canadians must hold a bachelor's degree or higher in the relevant field; Mexicans have the same educational requirement and must also obtain a TN visa stamp at a U.S. consulate before entry. Applicants cannot show intent to immigrate permanently.

Do professors qualify for TN as a specialty occupation?

Yes. Professors typically hold a bachelor's degree in a specific field, which is exactly the specialty-occupation standard TN is built around. What matters is that the employer classifies the role under a matching occupation code and that your degree lines up with it.

How do I get TN sponsorship from a top sponsor?

Once an employer extends a conditional offer, you gather supporting documents including your degree credentials, a support letter from the employer, and proof of citizenship. Canadian nationals present these documents directly at a U.S. port of entry for same-day processing with no advance petition required. Mexican nationals apply at a U.S. consulate abroad and receive a TN visa stamp before traveling. TN status is granted for three years and can be renewed indefinitely.
